Why you should get your boiler and radiators repaired by a heating engineer?
Finding your radiators cold when your boiler seems to be fully functioning is a confusing scenario, but there are a few reasons why this might be. First and foremost, check your central heating is on the right settings and that your thermostat is on the desired temperature.
